Referring now els of reference: i

1 designates a conventional form of ex plosion motor illustretedes supported upon a; base 2 which is hollow to provide a reser to the drewingsyhy numer-f the water jaehet through the tubular connect onor pipe 6 into i 7 which cylinder LKTlhe inlet tor the water jacket is at the bottom, as indicated at 8, while its outlet 9 is at tlie'top, the port 9 discharging into a container 10 havinga discharge port ll which disc. urges into an annular chinnher '12 of '2 huhlil of an impeller 14; on the crank shaft i5 of the engine. The hollow huh is prm'ideijl with a plurality of openinp s 1.6 in its outer wall which, when the inz eller is rotating will lirooti'onete the'weter issuing 'into the chamber 12 so that the subdivisions of the stream from the discluirge or nozzle 11 will he thrown by" centrifugal outwardly between the air runes-1'4 where tl'le v will mix witlieir before being, passed through the slotted-rim 18 provided with t e blades 19 in the perimeter tllBFGOfJ for the purpose of directing the mixed water and air radially through the impeller.

By reference to Fig. 1 1t w1ll he ohserved that the water oan onl venter the hollow huh through an annulsr'openinp; 2001i one side ot'the'impellenwvhile air enters the impeller from the oppos te side, heingdn rested through on enlarged opening 21 in heat absorbent,

- ,TI also provide a condensing lower 93 at the top of the casing the condensing: tower heine; provided with a" plurality of alternating heftles' arranged in sets desig- 'nated 24 and that'any liquid vapor passing through the tower will have tendency to condense and pass back into the casing and reservoir 3 The con densing tower also provides enoutlet for the elr drawn in tlrough the opening by the impeller'so that free ouuent air passes through th water passing Q I tlieretnrou The construct on 0.: th impeller is such that it'not only serves as means for'eliect surrounds the.

impeller to cool ingthe Pooling oi the liquid hut also serves a. fly wheel; therefore, l mu enahlod lo construct a fly wheel ol impeller form so that one olemcntscrves a dual purpose.

The construction of the blades l9 is such ill at the combined air and water will he dirested with mmsiderahle l'oree through the perimeter or rim of the fly wheel therein Maurine; oilicient Forced eirrulatiou ol: air sullioient volunxe to ahsorh the greater portion of the induced heat in the cooling ,1 passing from the jacket. in zul'ual practice some oi the water will he lost byevaporation and l. therefore. prefer to connect the normally closed inlet or; of the reservoir to suitable supply pipe 27 so that the reservoir mav be augmented {V from time to time. The inlet 26, however. is llOI'lT'HllF J closed by u "a ve 28 provided with av flout .29 capable of opening; the val 28 only when the level of the liquid within the reservoir o drops below a certain poiru: in the reservoir, the float being; effective to close the valve as soon as the desired liquid level in the reservoir has been reached.

The particular construction of the inipeller and i wheel illustrated in the accompanvino; drawings need not he followed in all instances as the impeller is ('apahle of various inodilieutions without departing: from the generic principles involved and l, therefore, do not wish to be limited to the intact details shown but reserve the right to make such changes and alterations as properl (-oine v-Jilihin the scope of the appended vlaini.
